“One size fits all” isn’t an effective approach to health care. Pharmacogenomics - genetic testing that gives patients the information they need to make informed decisions about their health, hand-in-hand with their doctors and pharmacists and their health plans – that’s “my size fits me” health care.
Using the latest in DNA testing, Genetworx helps patients learn what impact their individual genetic profile will have on the effectiveness of a variety of drugs.
This approach makes you, your doctor, your pharmacist and your health plan a highly effective team, focused on helping you achieve your best health using your DNA as the foundation.
Genetworx testing helps prevent adverse drug reactions before they occur.
Our tests help determine your individual response to a number of drugs by analyzing various Cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP2D6,CYP2C9, CYP2C19) which account for the metabolism of approximately 50% of all drugs :
- CYP2C19 - Affects approximately 5% - 10% of all medications
- CYP2C9 - Affects approximately 15% of all medications
- CYP2D6 –Affects approximately 25% of all medications
